Massoni

Chef Dale Talde (of Top Chef fame) and partners David Massoni and John Bush (the three of whom form the Three Kings Restaurant Group) bring this casual and self-proclaimed “inauthentic Italian” restaurant to Midtown East’s Arlo NoMad hotel. Talde takes Italian staples and adds his own updates and twists—like Indian-inspired arancini balls made using biryani-style rice and served with a cool ranch raita with spicy tomato. Patrons rave about the pizza, which comes in a number of options like the basic (but delicious) cheese and sauce variety, or the charred Brussels sprout, pistachio pesto and ricotta salata or pepperoni, pickled pepper and honey for more adventurous eaters.
